Started back in the early ‘80’s before all the whiz bang stuff was available, never bought into the hype. I do like good looking cables though so I always made my own. Just found a receipt where I paid 25 cents a foot for pure copper 16 ga 8 wire braided speaker wire.......in 1990.
Favorite cable brand.
Interested to hear opinions regarding brand favorites. My personal favorites, at the moment, are Kimber and Goertz. Two very different sounds yet both quite enjoyable. What are your favorites?

I have had a lot of BEL, then the mid-price Cardas. Recently upgraded my balanced interconnects and speaker cables to the designs of Colin Wonfor, sold by ABCaudio in the U.K. Colin was the original designer of the Telerium Q cables. I am totally floored by the recent upgrade. So impressed that I’m considering buying EXTRA cables for different speaker set ups. |
Currently, I am using cables from Down to Earth Cables, I love that I can select not only the wire I like but also customize it as well with the options of tech flex, as well as a variety of Banana plugs, Spades, or Pins. Their Interconnects are also well made and the Power cables have been a game-changer - especially the Silver Wattgate plugs, my soundstage is incredible! and all my cables match! Might not be important to some, but I love it (Snake is my current favorite.) Running Cary Audio DMS-550 - DHLABS Power Plus, Wattgate Silver - Interconnects Neutrik RCA w/Mogami Cary SLI-80HS DHLABS Power Plus, Wattgate Silver Cornwall IV's (Bi-wired) - Mogami wire, and Supra Spades and Banana Plugs SVS SBultra 16 - XLR Connector W Mogami (Haven't tried upgrading the power cord yet - but it's coming!) www.dte-cables.square.site |
Does anyone have experience with Schmitt cables? They were recommended on another audiophile forum and are very reasonably priced. https://www.schmittcustomaudiocables.com/shop-1 |
